Family Life — 11 June 2012

I’m starting something new this week with my kids to keep them from being lazy slackers motivated and inspired to do their best. Keeping an 8 and an 11 year-old focused can be quite a challenging feat, but I think I’ve found a way to get them going …

Now, I’m off to Do Better …

Winks & Smiles,

  1. I love it! What a great message for all of us! :)

    THANK YOU for sharing!

    • Hey, Patty! Thanks for your kind words. Smiles!

  2. Love that! I like the idea of taping messages around the house for them to see. Maybe even a little note in the lunch :)

    • Yes! I think the visuals are important. I’ve done lunch notes for them before, but never the mirror for the kids – only me. LOL! Hoping they’ll like it, too. ;)

  3. How cool!!

    • Thanks, Yvette! Smiles!

  4. Love it. I’m going to use this myself

  5. Love this idea! I will be using it with my 7 and 10 yrs olds this summer!

    • Hi Michelle! Glad to hear it. Let me know it goes. Smiles!

  6. Love the idea! What a great way to keep the entire family motivated. I love motivational quotes and now have a reason to share with my family. I’m sure they are going to love me for it! ha ha ha ;) I will steal this one this week and apply to myself, especially… DO Better! Thanks for sharing a great idea.

    • Awesome Daphne! I definitely use it for myself, too! My kids motivate me to do better. I find myself realizing I really have to practice what I preach to them – cause they’re watching what I do along with what I say. ;)

  7. Whoo Hoo! Today I did better. I got up off my hiney and started cleaning my garage.
